Year: 2000

Reading time: 1 min SomeTHiNG is changing. The emphasis is changing. The history is changing. The future is changing. Come back if you want. Stay away if you prefer. Why? A direct response/reaction. A re-assessment of the question. Because I can’t ask why.

Reading time: 1 min I fully expect to be aching by the end of the weekend. Beer tonight (hey it’s Friday you know…), then helping friends move into their new flat. Probably more beer, then a very quiet day on Sunday which will no doubt turn into an Xmas shopping day. I’m almost looking forward to Monday already! I’m currently becoming quite apathetic towards many things, anything involving pressure that is… I’m seriously considering the Ostrich approach, and if I decide to take that route, I will make sure everyone knows it! (You and I both know that I won’t but it’s a nice thought isn’t… just bury your head in the sand whilst the bombs go off overhead… ahhh bliss….). Anyway, leaping back …

Reading time: 1 min A few nice suprises yesterday, one of which wasn’t when my PalmPilot (III) started looking ill. Screen had gone all broken up… strange. Checked out Palm Support, newsgroups, everywhere I could. Ended up hard resetting and losing a lot of stuff. Which brings me round to my point. Planning. I’m terrible at this sort of thing. I’m always too optimistic, which is odd because I don’t consider it my nature. Also at a reasonably critical juncture career-wise. Need to clear out a few things (for want of a better term). Who knows, they may take care of themselves. Either way it will mean changes. Change which is good. Change away from the familiar, so I will have to start learning …

Reading time: 1 min Tonight, tonight (damn Phil Collins again…or was it Genesis, and why am I getting such a sense of deja wotsit as I type this?). Gonna tidy up the re-design – it’s gone through 3 or 4 iterations, and is almost there. Just need to make it a better cleaner, and double-check all the styles and links work. On past history I’ll say it’ll be posted on Saturday…which one though!! Ohh how witty am I…. Ohhh and I have a little update for Instant Ideas. A site which still gets about 50 – 100 hits a week. A site which gets updated every… oh… 3 months? Go figure…

Reading time: 1 min So it’s late and I’m still sitting here at the computer. Again. There must be more to life, and even as I type this I realise that there is. I’m just too damn lazy to get off my ass and do it. I also hate the way I so easily typed ass, an American word… I much prefer arse, but it seems that the great ole U.S of A is seeping into my pores. I can’t wait for an proper International community, which should start to evolve over the next couple of years. I know there are a lot of ‘communities’ on the web. Friends of friends etc, but it’s gonna get bigger than that. Or it won’t.

Reading time: 1 min Wonder Boys – good film. Nothing spectacular, and gave me the same feel that American Beauty did (well not quite as much). Tobey Maguire was excellent, Michael Douglas was quietly superb, and for the small amount of time she had, Frances McDormand was her usual self, effective and supremely watchable. Robert Downey Jr. even managed to keep it together. And yes I have thought about writing a book, but hasn’t everyone? Hell I’ve had a ‘story’ for ages… hmmm might be a project for me? But then I can’t even manage to get writing for this site… let alone for a book – how the hell would I find the will and the time to do that? Eh!? Ohhh and …

Reading time: 1 min what’s your pokename? (courtesy of memepool) It’s incredible, and insightful. I DO live in Britain, I DO eat TV dinners, garbage and love Dr.Pepper. In saying that I’ve never heard of Hot Death, and I’m sure shooting rocks sounds excruciatingly painful. Mind you, I’m sure being able to puke acid will be handy when negotiating my next wage rise!

Reading time: 1 min Another day, another dollar. I have heard that there is some election going on somewhere, but I doubt it’s gonna make as big an impact as people expect. I suffer terribly from jealousy. I look around and want more than I have, and for once I’m not being unreasonable in my demands, mind you I have to wait until February, and give evidence before my demands will even be listened to, and even then I don’t expect much to come of it… damn that was a long sentence, if I wasn’t so frickin lazy I would go back and edit it, but I am lazy, and.. well I’m just adding to the problem now. Sorry about that.

Reading time: 1 min So I’ve yet to complete the re-design, which has taken far too long… however it occured to me that the content side has fallen behind somewhat. So I’m probably going to start tackling themes – maybe the 7 sins to start (why are sins so much more fun than… ehh what’s the opposite of a sin?). I’ve also got some thoughts kicked off by a book I’ve been reading – The Trigger. More on that later.

Reading time: 1 min Cough, cough, splutter, splutter. I hate this time of year. Well not true I really like it, if only it wasn’t for the sore throat, tickly cough… hold on I sound like a cough medicine advert. Back to work tomorrow… joy of joys. Hey, I haven’t asked for a while..how are you?
